Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy strap fitting. The object is triangular in plan, sub-rectangular in cross-section, and two broken arms extending from the wide end. Each arm is broken as it begins to curve down beneath the object. The terminal of the object is in the form of an animals head with a loop for a snout. The eyes and ears are faceted. The main body of the mount is triangular and has a hole in the centre. There is a nielloed triangle around the hole, and further lines around the perimeter of the object emphasising the dimensions and features. The underside is flat.
The object is probably a strap fitting or box fitting. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
